Lyrics:

I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for the fall
Too blind to see the writing on the wall…

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me…

I know where beauty lives
I’ve seen it once I know the warmth she gives
The light that you could never see…
It shines inside, you can’t take that from me…

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me…

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have a chance again ?

If I ran away, I’d never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the beating of my heart ?
Will it grow cold the secrets that I hide ? Will I grow old ?
How would they hear ? They would they learn ?
How would they know ?

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me…

The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell the secrets I knew then
Will I ever have a chance again ?

A man can tell a thousand lies
I’ve learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell the secrets I have learned, till then
It will burn inside of me…
